Save that Fur! How your Best Friends Can Help Clean up the Gulf!

Hello Everyone!
I'm sure you have all heard about the massive oil spill in the Gulf. We can help with the clean up efforts in a unique way...by saving the fur collected when we brush or trim our pets! A non profit organization called Matter of Trust is collecting donations of clean hair and fur of all kinds to clean up the oil in the ocean. Hair is hydrophobic which means it repels water. It is also great for absorbing oil...which is why we wash...greasy hair means hair that collects oil! So Matter of Trust has volunteers making devices called hair booms out of recylced hair and nylons which are placed in the water to soak up the oil. You and your furry Best Friends can help us collect hair to donate to the cause during your regular grooming process! Just save clean hair or fur when you brush or trim at home and bring to Best Friends or schedule an appointment with one of our Groomers today! Call us at 978-649-8585 and let us know you want to help save the Gulf! Check out this video to learn more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwQOD_lr2vQ
